AV-108F-3A-B Current Pulser or Laser Diode Driver

The AV-108F-3A-B pulsed constant current generator (or pulsed laser diode driver) is designed for driving laser diodes and other low impedance loads with peak currents as high as 200 Amps and average currents to 20 Amps. The pulse width is adjustable from 20 us to 1 ms, and the rise and fall times are 10 us or less. Load voltages as high as 20V may be accommodated. This model can deliver average powers of up to 400 Watts. A user-supplied DC power supply is required to power the instrument, in additional to standard AC power.

Option. Standard feature for orders after Jan 14, 2019 - it is no longer necessary to specify this option. Adds a rear-panel Ethernet connector, allowing the instrument to be remotely controlled using the VXI-11.3, ssh (secure shell), telnet, and http (web) protocols. In particular, the VXI-11.3 features allows software like LabView to control an instrument using standard VISA communications drivers and network cabling, instead of using old-style GPIB cabling. (This eliminates the need for a GPIB controller card and its proprietary drivers.).

Option. Ships the instrument in a heavy-duty ATA-style transport case, instead of the normal cardboard box. It can also serve as a storage case. This option is recommended for shipments outside of North America and Europe, and is mandatory when using a freight-forwarder or when shipping by any method other than FedEx/UPS. It is strongly recommended for all shipments to China. Pelican model 1690 for full-rack-width (17 inch / 430 mm) units, including all -B units. Pelican model 1610 for half-rack-width (8.5 inch / 215 mm) units. This option increases the shipping weight by 45 lbs / 20 kg (1690) or 24 lbs / 11 kg (1610).

Excludes the above countries. Not recommended. Due to the increased likelihood of shipping damage, the -ATA3 option (heavy-duty ATA shipping case) is mandatory for -PS, -C, and -B models.
